Windows file explorer view changed

Hello,
Don't know what I did (or did not), however my file explorer view changed: before I had my drives, downloads, and recent folders at the most left side, and to the right I had the content of each item, e.g. folder or drive.
Now I have something like in the attached screenshot.
I tried to manouver with the "view" at the upper toolbar but it did not change.
I even restarted pc, but nothing changed. Please help.
Answers will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Motim

Hello AndreyT,
Many thanks for the answer, wow, I have back my favourite file explorer look.
However, in the 'Navigation pane' options there is no 'enable...' option (attached screenshot). I just clicked on the icon.
Thanks again.
